Bandleader Outfits - It was a
running gag on THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JOHNNY CARSON/NBC/1962-92 for
host Johnny Carson to comment and even ridicule the bandleader's
clothing especially in the case of the hip bandleader, Doc
Severinsen. Skitch Henderson, the former bandleader of THE
TONIGHT SHOW, was teased for his goatee beard and his tight fitting
apparel, but Doc Severinsen, earned a reputation for wearing
outrageously "Mod" clothing with wild colors and textures.
